Steve-O was detained by police after jumping off the Tower of London Bridge during his recent trip to England, where he’s currently on tour and shooting his third comedy special.
The Jackass star, 49, drew quite the crowd on Thursday as he counted down before plunging into the River Thames.
He was then detained and spent time in the back of a police car before being let go, according to TMZ.
Steve-O told the outlet that cops were concerned that the stunt would inspire others to leap off the landmark — possibly to their deaths.
Not one to be deterred by danger, Steve-O revealed that he also jumped off one of London’s famous red double-decker buses.

He said that the bus jump ended up being the tougher landing due to the impact of the concrete versus splashing into the water.
Taking to his Instagram Story, the actor shared images of himself atop the bus with a British flag held up over his head.
He and his crew used a ladder to get him up there before he jumped down onto the ground.
Steve-O thanked photographer Mike Chudley for capturing the epic moment.
With all eyes on him, Steve-O took the opportunity to encourage his UK fans to snag a ticket to a taping of his comedy special, Bucket List, on Friday, July 14.
For both stunts, Steve-O rocked Union Jack, including an umbrella, bucket hat and an ‘I [love] London’ tee.
He’s been doing stand-up comedy for over a decade, starting in 2010.
The beloved TV personality already has two specials under his belt.
Steve-O released ‘Guilty As Charged’ on Showtime in 2016 and ‘Gnarly’ premiered in 2020.
But he is most recognized for appearing on MTV’s stunt show Jackass with the likes of Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera.
Steve-O is currently on his Bucket List tour, which kicked off in the United States in January.
His first U.S. how was held in January 11 in Cheyenne, Wyoming and it was supposed to wrap on February 5 in Fairbanks, Alaska.
